Belly Button not quite closed? 2 months....

So my little guy's belly button has like a piece of it that didn't heal or something...it is soft tissue and not bleeding but has blood in it...does that make sense??? I dont know what it is...his umbilical cord fell off and i just assumed this piece would heal or dry up or whatever but it hasnt...it like sticks out of his bellybutton and his bellybutton doesnt close all the way. Does anyone know what this is or could be? I have his doctor's appt tomorrow I was just curious if anyone knew what it could be and what we do for it...thanks!

Same thing happened to Hailee. We took her in for her month shots. They said that they would fix the problem. they touched her belly button with a q-tip. It had nitrate on it. Two days later the problem was solved. They said it is painless, but the belly button turns black for two days after. I would ask about the nitrate.Forgot why they said it didn't seal.

Hi there, my son has it too. We had our dr.s apt monday. She said that I wasnt drying it well enough, and that after a bath or he peed on himself that i needed to dry it out with a q-tip. Her explanation was that it was like when you leave a bandaid on to long. My other to children call it my sons pimento.

okay so i had my appt today and she said it was like a piece of the umbilical cord that like didnt fall off all the way...it starts with a g, i can't forget what she said. But she did the q-tip thing like a pp said, it just kind of burned it so it would heal. Not a big deal like i thought, but we got it taken care of!!!

Yes that's what she said too lol She was like it should kind of flake off and they might have to "burn" it again to get it to totally heal. I'm just glad it wasn't something else more serious!! I can deal with gross...after all he poops and pees on me so this is simple compared to that lol The joys of motherhood :)
